Come celebrate World Migratory Bird Day with us!

Join naturalists from the Audubon Society of Rhode Island and the Providence Parks Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership for a free GUIDED BIRD WALK in Providence on Saturday, May 13 at 9:15-10:15 am. This walk is hosted in partnership with the National Parks Service and one of their Rangers will be joining us. 

At a small but very diverse wetland in the Algarve, Portugal called Alagoas Brancas (it is a hotspot on eBird) we will introduce children from about 5 to 10 years to birdwatching. We will talk to them about migration of birds and why water is so important. We will do activities to get them involved: such as actual birdwatching,  journaling their observations in a prepared journal that we will hand out before we set off, playing games, singing songs and doing a creative project that the children can take home.

Tram Chim national park is the only one flyway network site of Vietnam. We organise waterbirds count at Tram Chim national park from April 9 to May 13 by volunteers and taking children to the field for birdwatch training. We will help them learn how to use binoculars, telescoope as well as how to identify bird, count and making records on eBird.

Not a lot of people this time in Parque Paraiso. It was a lovely day though. 

On Feb 10th, we went in the Pumapungo museum gardens to see the birds there. We were 7-8 persons, it was a nice afternoon.
We talked about the migrant birds and gave some goodies to the participants.

On Jan. 7th, we organized a PAU birdwatching session in parque Ictocruz. Only one person came, but he was amazed by the birds :) 
PAU is an association to help citizens to know more about birds and nature around them.
 

On Saturday 3rd of Dicember 2022, we did a birding tour in Parque Paraiso.

There was 8 people, interested in birds and we talked about the migratory events and gave them some flyers and other goodies.

Join members of Nature and Culture International’s team for a peaceful nature walk through riparian woodland and sage scrub in San Diego, CA on May 13, 2023 from 8-10am PST. This event is free, but RSVP's are required.

We expect to see many birds, but will be on the lookout for a few iconic long-distance travelers, like the Western wood-pewee (Contopus sordidulus) and Olive-sided flycatcher (Contopus sordidulus). These bird species will (hopefully) be visiting all the way from some of the tropical forests we protect in Latin America.
